Coffey, a 31-year-old man, provided a 14-year-old girl with alcohol during a flight, and despite knowing she was underage, continued to abuse her.
The prosecution's memorandum states, "It was clear why he gave her alcohol; so the minor victim would be less able to resist his sexual abuse of her."
The judge sentenced Coffey to two years in federal prison, asserting the necessity for punishment given the lifelong trauma inflicted on the teenage victim.
Witnesses reported that Coffey’s actions on the flight exemplified a deliberate effort to exploit the girl’s fear of flying, using alcohol as a means to an end.
